Good morning [%first_name |Dear Reader%], What a week, huh? I don't think my senses have managed to step back from fight-or-flight mode one bit. It's surreal to watch America speed-run through a combo of hara-kiri (on itself) and kamikaze (on everyone else) each day.

Subscribe here Good morning [%first_name |Dear Reader%], It's another Sunday already! Where did the week go by? No, really. I can almost smell the Panchagavya in the air.

Good morning [%first_name |Dear Reader%], How was your week? I counted myself lucky that I did not have to answer that in five bullet points to please the fleeting whims of some insecure and cruel man! The speed at which we seem to be collapsing into either the great unknown or singularity is too much for me to make sense of. Perhaps as a coping mechanism, I find myself becoming a longterm-ist. I find peace in knowing that this too shall pass. I find myself drawn, after decades, to sci-fi novels.
